' In pne. of these narrow and closely-built *Btreets lying below the great central thor? oughfare, anh in. the heart of what might T>e called$ew Orleans proper, there stands stilly.ia. an excellent and habitable state of repair, a dwelling, which, long years gone by, .was the scene of a thrilling tragedy. .m For a Je w months subsequent to its en? actment, an atmosphere of hon or seemed to- pervade "the* premises, and' for some years-,, after the family among whom it had t^s^ired had disappeared from public ob seryatioh, the .agent who was employed to let the building, found it difficult to secure tenants,, even upon the most accommodat? ing terms. Gradually, however, those liv? ing in immediate proximity were swept away by the chances and changes of life, or were silently borne to the grave, where? in there is no more babbling of the past, arid the ghastly memories which seemed to find a voice in the hollow echoes of the bare .and lofty chambers, and sighing winds drawing through open doorways and unused corridors; were slowly but surely exorcised by the necessities of the living present ?The high conventual wallofbrick which, in accordance with the fashion of that day for private residences, reared its blank fr?nt to-the. street, unbroken save by a large iron-barred; port cochere, yielded to the hand of innovation, and the light which hitherto had j>erietrated" dimly through the Jalousies ot the varaudahs opening on an inner court, now entered garishly through numerous windows mingled with the dust and noise of the highway. The basement wherein were situated the kitchen and domestic offices of the household, by the removal of partition walls, became spacious stores; on the floor above the penates of the thrifty trades? men below were set up, and tbe spacious court, once shaded by the blooming sjreen of. white and red flowered oleanders, per? fumed by the aromatic breathings of heli? otrope and reseda, and cooled by the soft, pattering drops of a central fountain, from neglect and depredation, changed its em? bowered" aspect to one of ruin and desola? tion, arid its former glory dwindled down to some stunted and sour-begriramed 6hrubs, utilized by a red-armed laundre&s as-supports for au outstretched line, and thus the romance and horror of the place faded away with passing years. The original owner and occupant of this house was a Creole gentleman of French parentage, named de Montreuil, who, upon approaching manhood, had been sent across the ocean by his father, the latter deeming it impossible that the final touch of an et egant education could be received else? where than in la belle pays. Having completed his studies, and par? taken of the dissipation of the great capi? tal, young de Montreuil beguiled some months of leisure among the classic and picturesque localities of the old world, and finally embarked for his distant home, ac? companied, somewhat to his own astonish? ment, by a young wife, a dark eyed An dalusian beauty, whom he had rescued from peril while crossing the mountains which guard the Spanish frontier, and whom he had wooed, won, and married with so much impetuosity, that he scarce? ly knew more of her than that the charms of' her person, and her gratitude combined, rendered her irresistible. Some weekf? before the sails of the ship which bore him homeward were furled in port, de Montreuil' began to' realize the inconveniences of an ill-assorted match,, and-became keenly conscious that a head of graceful contour adorned by burnished locks, may not always, be the shrine of in? tellect;, that eye -which dilates and droops with a passionate rrrelaneholy can also flash and brood with-uncontrolled anger and sullen thoughts of revenge, and that a coral lip which can wreath, with a syren's smile, may likewise quiver with ill suppressed ferocity ; iu short, that a; de? moniac soul sometimes shrouds itself in a seraphic :torm. . t . De Montreuil was, to aH intents and pui?poses, a Frenchman, and with the in souscaince of bis race, seemed to shed, by an inimitable - shrug, ail feelings which might disturb the equanimity of his life. ?nce established -in his home he crossed as- seldom as possible the path of the beau? tiful tigress whom he had essayed to clasp to- his bosom, and whom some whim had induced to linger for a moment as it were iu his caress, but contented himself with providing munificently for her wants and Bought his pleasure elsewhere. The offspring of this hasty and injudi? cious marriage"were two girls, twins in birth, counterparts in personal appcarauce, and by a psychological freak, opposites in every attribute of mind and soul. They were named respectively .Annette and Ju? anita?one,and the same name in the French^and Spanish tongues; and as their characters developed, they seemed incar? nate-types of the two nationalities whieb their parentage represented. The first years of their young lives pass? ed fleetly by, unvaried by any incidents more stirring than th?se created by the impetuous spirit of mirth, and adventure which animated Annette, or the quiet in? trigues of Juanita, to obtain under any and all circumstances the gratification of her own will, or revenge on those who thwarted her in its enjoyment. . Like nascent buds within some tropic clime, theirs was no lingering, stunted growth, but even while their years were those which placed them still in girlhood's ranks, in size and rare perfection of form, they had attained the graces of early wo? manhood. Not theirs the fortune either to bud and blow unseen^ for under the irregular disci? pline of the de Montreuil household, they were prematurely introduced to the gay companions of their father's revels, who, like himself,'were all men of pleasure, gal? lantry and adventure. When but scarcely entered on their teens, each had a train of avowed admirers and suitors, and the imbroglios and con? stant misunderstandings which a.rose from their exact resemblance to each other, ad? ded not a little to the zest of the lovers who worshipped at the shrines of the twin beauties de Montreuil. This likeness was so perfect in every feature of their fair faces, every outline of their slight undulating forms, every twist and ripple of the black lock? which clus? tered on their white shoulders, and every intonation of a peculiarly soft and liquid utterance, that even their father often mistook one for the other, and none lived who might not have been deceived as to their identity, except a mother with the unerring instinct of maternal affection, or the old black mamma, who having served a faithful apprenticeship to their wants and caprices, could unhesitatingly declare this or that is Mademoiselle Nette orNita, as the case might be. Twinned by a feat of nature, stamped in the same mould, and reared in the inti? mate companionship, peculiar to snch rela? tions, these sisters were always at varL ance in their partialities aud antipathies, and their regard was never known to have centered on the same object, except in the one instance, whioh proved so fearful in its consequences. IL When the balmy breath of a Louisiana spring had waved the waxen orange buds to blow, and the mocking birds which haunt their groves gave nightly utterance to wildly fitful lays?iu that beautiful sea? son when the heart, unwakened though it be, seems with a vague unrest to yearn for unknown bliss and happiness, there came trom across the vast ocean's width oue who embodied fate for these two un? disciplined and passionate natures. Hubert Winchester, an English gentle? man of fortune and leisure, young, accom? plished and handsome as the hero of ro? mance, voyaging to the new world in search of the novelty which for him had ceased to exist in the old, was possessed of attractions which rarely failed to fascinate all who came within their influence. Introduced to the elegant hospitalities of Monsieur die Montreuil's home, he found something new, piquant, and delightfully irresistible in the society of the twin daughters of the house, and for a while en? joyed the delicious bewilderment of charm? ing and being charmed by the two sisters, without an idea as to their separate iden? tity. , Weeks passed by, each day of which brought long hours of pleasant intercourse with the two as they slowly wandered i among the flower beds of the spacious court, trod with measured pace the moon? lit verandahs, or rode or drove among the green suburban haunts, or mingled their voices in the rarest melodies of many lands, until at last Winchester became conscious, suddenly, instantaneously, as by a light? ning stroke, that some subtle power was given him to mark their individuality. With the consciousness was born a pre? ference, or pernaps the preference itself had lent discrimination, though which was cause, or which effect he did not stop to analyze, as he proved again and again his ability to recognize Annette, and lure her from her sisters side. The eyes of that magician, Love, soon gave to him a hundred points of difference, so marked he marveled that he should' ever have been deceived, and if for a mo? ment puzzled by some varying light or shade, he still hesitated in his choice, there remained for him one infallible test?the same which Shakspeare calls the "holy palmer's kiss." Annette, with her impetuous soul, and gay, radiant nature, had yet a pulse with beat as equable as that which heaves the breast of tranquil sleep; while Juanita's, with the self- contained poise of tempera merit which enabled her to "bide her time," thrilled as though tiny hammers of steel beat upon the anvil of her heart, and when Winchester clasped "palm to palm" her slender hand, he could scarce refrain from dashing it away out of his grasp, so fierce, eo impetuous, so determined was its throb, though withal possessed of an alien ement which appealed to his man's nature. Winchester was a person of society, and accustomed to steer his way among the jutting rocks of dilemma which obtrude in that vast deep, but he found himself now floating among some fetus wreathed isles which attracted quite as much as they re? pelled!, and consequently dulled his sense of danger. He could scarcely doubt that Juanita loved E?m. She was young and beautiful, and he realized that. he loved Annette with a depth and sincerity which was new in his life of e vanescent fancies; yet, instead of spreading, sail toward open and safer seas, the lair-haired young En? glishman, who was neither the best nor worst of his sex, drifted idly, trusting tb pome chance breeze to wait him safely to the haven where he would be. Winchester, like the Scottish knight whose fame is embalmed in song, was no ^laggard in love,n-and yet an impalpable barrier seemed out of some mysterious depth to rear itself between him and An? nette, and discourage his pursuit of her. The season had advanced to the deepest glory of summer-time, and Winchester, who proposed soon to sail for the white shores of his native land, was still in doubt if his vision of a dark-eyed bride borne away to grace his distant home, might be realized, when an incident transpired which resolved him to put his fate to the touch, and "win or lose it all." At that oppressive hour of the -day, which in the tropics and all climates verg? ing on them is devoted to the siesta, Winchester, after having dined with Mon? sieur de Montreuil, had withdrawn from the gay companions who rallied in force to the smoking room, and with the easy cer? emony of the house, wandered to a breezy and shaded nook fitted up for a summer parlor. Here he threw himself, book in hand, on a lounge made of twisted bamboo, to read, meditate, or sleep, as inclination prompted. H8 probably passed from the first or second act to the third; for he was only dreamily conscious that some one en? tered the room, and then even more faint? ly that they stood beside him, but was awakened unmistakably by the pressure of a pair of soft, hot lips to his own in a clinging kiss. A delicious thrill flushed the blood to his face, yet a sensation of disgust made him spring to his feet, and forced from his lips in almost breathless ejaculation: "Juanita! Miss de 31ontreuil! Shame !" Sustained by the transport of feeling Which had prompted the caress, the young girl neither quailed nor was abashed by discovery or reproof, but fixing her glance on him in one long, steadfast gaze of fiery tenderness, with clasped and outstretched hands, she sank slowly at his feet, mur? muring, "I love yon." After one moment of adoration, silent and intense, it seemed as that which de? votee offers at sacred shrine, she re? peated : "I love you, Hubert, with body and heart, and soul. It is not my. shame, it is my glory. I love you with all the power of my being," Winchester was only human ; he could not meet such excess of devotion with disdain-; so stooping, he lifted her gently from the floor, saying, "Naj7, Juanita, give me your friendship, or better still, a sister's affection." With a slow j et threatening movement she separated herself from him, drew back apace and searched his face for a moment with an eager glance, and then shaken for one brief instant as by a storm, grew cold, pale and rigid, even in that glowing summer atmosphere, seeming to find breath only to articulate in a whisper which yet was fearfully distinct, and full of threatening; "It is so ! is it I It is so l Hubert Win? chester loves Annette de Montreuil," and so turned away and left the room delib? erately as though their interview bad been of an ordinary character. in. After this, Winchester determined that his wooing should bo brief, and when the 3'oung moon, which hung above in the heavens, bad rounded to an orb of light, his love had been told, his bride won, her father's consent obtained, and the early day appointed for his marriage was at hand. Juanita had never, by word or manner, betrayed recollection even, of tho extraordinary confession she bad made, and no one could have gathered from her demeanor a suspicion that ?he felt either rriore or less than natural inter? est in her sister's marriage. Winchester, with a tact and courtesy which should have appealed to her better nature, mingled the kindness of a brother with the courtesy of a friend in his inter? course with her, quietly ignoring all the past. It had been arranged at Juanita's own dictation that she should remain at home to receive the bridal party upon its return from church, instead of accompanying Annette as one of her attendants, accord? ing to immemorial custom, asking only to assist at her toilette for the last time. For this purpose, they sought the rooms which had been thoirs since infancy, and one of which was now draped with bridal white, and decorated with snowy flowers for the bride's occupancy, until her de? parture for England. Tho house was filled with the bustle of preparation preliminaay to the entertain? ment of numerous guests. Busy feet passed up and down, lamps were lit, and waxen candles sent up their incense with a perfume of flowers, and a festal air per? vaded every spot, save those two silent chambers to which the twin sisters had I withdrawn. There, a light burned dimly, and silence reigned supreme. No burst of girlish | laughter, no snatch of joyous songs, no rustling to and fro of soft drapery told youthful vanity sportively displaying charms enhanced by costly bridal robes. A hush, deep almost as the grave, claimed that space for its reign. The bridal train assembled and waited only for the coining of the bride, who is? sued from her room promptly at her fa? ther's summons, clad in gleaming satin, and vailed in heavy folds of blonde. Leaning upon his arm she passed voice? less, only bowing her salutations to the carriage which stood in waiting, and a few moments after, with Winchester by her side was before the altar of the cathe? dral where the marriage ceremony was to be porformed. From the moment of his bride's en? trance into the parlor, Winchester had experienced Ohe of those revulsions of leeling as inexplicable as they are seem? ingly causeless. A vague sense of dis? quiet came over his soul and a kind of nervous horror shook his limbs, and all so uselessly that he strove to throw them off, with vexation at himself for his mala? propos humor. At the altar in lieu of the rupture he had anticipated, he experienced a cold in? difference, fluctuating with bitter antipa th3T, and it was only by the greatest self control that he forced himself to utter vows which he had fancied he could breathe with so mach fervor. When the benediction was spoken it was the bride herself who, with an* air of reckless haste, threw aside the filmy folds which concealed her features, and turned as if to receive her husband's nuptial kiss. The sound of horror which burst from the bridegroom's lips paralyzed the as? sembled guests, and all were motionless while Winchester remained staring at his new made wife as if struck to stone by the evidence of a sense which he still seemed to doubt, for after a minute's pause he clutched fiercely her hand, only to throw it from him, and reel like one who staggers beneath a heavy blow. A wild laugh broke startlingly on the silence, and a woman's voice, in the quick, sharp tones ot frenzy, cried out: "Juani? ta's revenge ! Live and feel it!" A white-robed figure sprang away from the altar, gleamed for an instant among the crowd, which involuntarily parted before it, and disappeared at the open door, was seen for a moment by those who clustered outside, moving in the di? rection of the river's turbid flood, which flowed but a stone's throw from the Ca? thedral door, was visible in tbe brilliant moonlight, poised on the sloping brinks, and then disappeared with a head-long plunge beneath the dark fleeting tide. For awhile all was confusion, then some rallied to Winchester's support, others hastened to the river's bank, only to gaze upon the unbroken surface of the sullen waters hastening ever upon their journey towards the sea, and others still clustered round Monsieur d^Montreuil to seek an explanation of the occurrence. Recovered from the first dismay, the ruse that had been practiced seemed to flash upon all, and then?Annette ! where was she ? Her father and lover sped homeward; the lights burned, the table was served, the music swelled in preliminary gushes of melody, and all seemed to betoken joy, save the gloom and silence which hung like a pall over that which was to have been the bridal chamber. Bursting asun? der the fastenings by which the door had been secured, the pent-up agony of both broke out in a despairing cry at the sight which met their view. Annette lay white, motionless, dead, upon the floor, dashed to earth by one keen blow sped unerringly by the hand of most unnatural hate; murdered by her sister, whose passionate, wayward and undisciplined nature, made her revenge finally complete by self-destruction. It was impossible to decide whether the hapless girl had the awful deed in contem? plation during thb preceding weeks, or had been guilty of its eornmisaion in a frenzy of jealous rageT though opinion prevailed that h had been premeditated, Winchester himself not doubting it, when he remembered the sibilated words which had followed her conviction that his heart was given to Annette, and that she bad found a rival to bis favor >i> her sister. It seemed certain, indeed, that the bri? dal toilet had been , made in the presence of her lifeless victim, and this evidence of demoniac hardihood in one so young, of itself was sufficient t<- awaken the thrill of terror in all who listened to the recital of Juanita I Kevcngc I Ike (farm m& &atdcu. From the Southern Cultivator. Farm Work for July. Continue to work cotton with sweeps, followed by the hoe, which will keep down the weeds and encourage the formation and retention of bolls. Deep and close plowing must not be continued, as it will injure the roots, but the middles must be kept clean and soft by shallow workings, and the grass in the drills taken out with the hoe. In this way the crop can be laid by perfectly clean at so late a soason that the grass will not interfere much with the comfort and neatness ot the final operation of picking. Com is fate this year, so that mach fa not yet laid by. It should receive con? stant surface working uotil the blades meet across the rows; work this crop al? ways with the cultivator or with sweeps, after one or two thorough plowings in its young stage. Cow peas should be sown among tbe corn, at its last working, and may still be sown broadcast for hay, in good, rich land; for making seed only the earliest kinds are worth trying so late. Chinese sugar cane should be worked litte corn, and if the ground is moist, can still be sown for BoU'wg stock, as well as for winter forage. Sweet potatoes most be carefully worked, throwing mellow, fresh earth upon the ridges, and killing all the weeds; "Draws" may still be set, which will make some eatable roots, aud plenty of seed for another year. Commence sowing turnips this month, and continue to sow at intervals until the last of Sep? tember. Wo sometimes, from drought, have been able to make no turnips, except those sown this month. In other years the September sown crop alone succeeded; August is commonly the best month to sow. It is useless to sow this crop, unless on thoroughly tilled and well-enriched lands. The soil roust be plowed and har? rowed until all lumps are broken np and it is perfectly fine. The crop is then most valuable, affording abundance of most excellent food for man and beast. It may be sown in rows and worked be? tween, which is best generally, but on land that is cow-penned, they do well enough broadcast. If you bow Kuta Baga turnips manure twice as heavily as if lor other turnips. When special manures are used, sow two sacks of Peruvian guano to the acre, broadcast, and harrow in. Turnip ground should always be harrowed fine, then when you sow the seed a barrel of super- , phosphate should bo sown with the seed and brushed lightly in with it. In drill culture, scatter the superphosphate along the drill with the seed. July and August are the best months for grubbing up sprouts and briars, many of which, if cut down now, will die, that would spring up immediately it cut at any other season. If new lands are to be cleared,- it is a good time to cut down tho undergrowth, loo small for fencing purposes, so as to jet the brush dry. The sprouts are less likely to give trouble, and all work done at the leisure time after laying by, is so much saved next winter. If your wheat has not been threshed and sunned, get it out, and after thorough sunning put it up in boxes or in casks, in the middle of tho day. while hot. In a basement or dry cellar, it it i8 thus put up, it wih keep sound for two years, at least. If it stands long unsunned, it will be greatly damaged by weevil. Some add I lb. salt to each bushel of wheat, which will do no harm, but we have always found a good sunning sufficient. Hay.?Cut grass aud forage of all-kinds, before it gets too ripe; a little after it is in bloom, is the proper time. Spread it out and let it dry until evening; rake it up, before the dew falls, in long and thick rows, and put it in heaps (according as it is more or less cured) of from 50 to 100 lbs. If much cured, put it in large heaps; let it sweat in the cock over night, and if pretty green, also over another day ; these open as soon as the dew is off, and spread them ^out thin to cure; turn the hay about 10 o'clock, and after dinner it will be ready to haul. Stacks are fre? quently so badly made that it is better to put hay up in pens, sheltered by split boards earefully laid over, with a eonside ble slope to the roof. Very few planta? tions have sufficient barn room. Log pens, with board roofs, cost but little, and the waste from stacking hay and fodder is very great?the outside of a small stack, which is a large proportion of the whole, being worthless, so far as exposed to wet. Many swampy places are now dry enough fcr ditching. Even if the ground is hard, it is better to dig ditches now, as hands ought not to be exposed, by doing this sort of work during winter. These swampy soils not only yieTd, when made dry. the very best returns of any part of the plantation, but on their drainage, the health of the locality often entirely de? pends. The increased physician's bills, and loss of time from sickness, is sufficient in one year, in some cases, to pay for draining the swamp from which arises the diseases of the location. In this, as in every other month, all spare time should be given to the manu? facture of manures. Haul in leaves; rich earth from the fence sides, and matter of all kinds, on which to bed your stock. A great deal of this sort of' stuff can be got from the vegetable garden,in theway of weeds, trash. &c. Take the rich earth from drains and ditches to your stock? yards. A few minutes spent thns every day, and the results of the stables, yards, &c, put in tho pile with rich dirt from any source, will give a surprisingly large accumulation in autumn. Action on Lime on Soil.?The dis? tinguished chemist, Boussingault, ha'sjost read before the French Academj' of Sci? ences, a paper on the employment of lime in agriculture. It has not been published, but M. Barrel gives the following as the substance of it, which we translate from the Journal d'Agriculture Practiqve: Lime introdnced in an arable soil, very quickly sets at liberty a certain quantity of azote in the state of ammonia; the azote elements were before united in in? soluble combinations; the action of the lime sets them free, and permits a part of the capital buried in the soil tobe utilized for the next crop. If this was? the whole effect oflime, of which the experiments of Boussingault afforded evidence, small doses of it at once ought to be counselled, because tho quantity of ammonia pro? duced, does not increase in proportion to tire quantity of lime used. But as heavy limings produce incontestibfe effects in certain cases, it must be admitted, that lime exerts an action of some other kind upon the elements of the mould, Bous? singault thinks that certain minerals, such as potash and silicia, may be liberated in flic soil by lime; that other substances, injurious to plants, are destroyed or modi? fied by the same agent, and that to these effects is added, moreover, a physical ac? tion, changing the constitution of the land. The action of the lime is thus ex? cessively complex, and its good effects can only bo explained by stadyi ,g atten? tively, the special circumstances under which they are produced. The grand fact proven by the present researches of this agricultural savan is, that there exists in this mould, as well as in the form of J organic matters, a host of subtsances com? pletely inert for vegetation, until the mo? ment when some proper agent renders assimilable bj' pfants. The con tin trance of experiments upon the method devised b}T Boussingault, can alone clear up these excessively complex facts, and point out to our agriculturists the moat effective process. The discovery of methods which conduct to truth, is often the greatest ser? vice that can be rendered to 'science and to art. STEVENS HOUSE, 21, 23, 25 and 27 Broadway, N.
